CVEID:   CVE-2021-37712
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an arbitrary file creation/overwrite vulnerability. By creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink that had a different apparent name that resolved to the same entry in the filesystem, an attacker could use an untrusted tar file to symlink into an arbitrary location and extract arbitrary files into that location to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.

CVEID:   CVE-2021-37713
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by insufficient logic on Windows systems when extracting tar files that contained a path that was not an absolute path, but specified a drive letter different from the extraction target. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.
